That would irritate me if it didn't lay flat. 😬 I know what you mean about the key being too wide for the aftermarket cases because I tried one of them first. That's why I bought the used original Crossfire fob off of eBay. It was $29 and in new condition with free shipping (I was the only one that bid on it!). Too bad I couldn't use the new circuit board though. As you said...such is life!
